In Spring 2001, Amedeo Scognamiglio and Roberto revolutionized the luxury world, bringing to NYC a new concept of jewelry: with fresh, contemporary and un-conditioned approach. The young Italian designers brought “Fine Jewels” out and away from their velvety boxes and on to everyday gorgeous women. A jewel in their mind, had to be adornment, the joy of life and an unforgettable moment.
The dynamic duo ran into Patricia Field during a Summer night in New York City while the shooting of the TV series Sex & The City was taking place. From that very moment, their friendship and collaboration was fundamental to the incredible venture called “Faraone Mennella’.
That same year the most luxurious stores in the world tapped Faraone Mennella and started carrying its jewels.
Amedeo and Roberto have created iconic pieces for movies like Devil wears Prada, Sex & the City, Wall Street, it’s Complicated, When in Vegas and TV shows such as Will & Grace, Sex & The City and Lipstick Jungle. Fans and devotees of the Italians designers creations include Oprah Winfrey, Rachel Welch, Kim Catrall, Patricia Field, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston, Katherine Heigel, Brooke Shileds, Carine Roitfield, Nina Griscom, Olivia Chantecaille, Linda Fargo, Giovanna Battaglia and more.
